Andy, left to go home today and I miss him already. It was great having him here and we really enjoyed him. He finally met Chris in person (he has talked to her before) and said he sees why we are such good friends. Our nephew, Sean, and his two children spent a couple of evenings with us and it was great family time.

Our sister, Roxy, came by yesterday on her way to the Shrine Bowl in Spartanburg. Her daughter, Rikki, has the honor of being the only female trainer from SC invited to participate. Rikki is a pretty awesome young lady that we are all very proud of. She graduates high school in June and has a bright future ahead.
